National Sake Fair 2025㉗
Saitama Prefecture ②
Yao Honten in Chichibu City
Omi merchant moved to Chichibu and founded the company.
In addition to sake brewing, affiliated companies also operate sake wholesalers, department stores, and electronics retailers.
I don't have a source, but it looks like they are distant relatives of Yao Brewery of Suzumasamune in Shiga. The brewer of Suzumasamune mentioned it on SNS before.
I've seen Chichibu Nishiki a few times at Kobe Hankyu, but it was labeled dry, so I passed on it💦.
Polishing ratio 60% Miyamanishiki, Sake degree ±0, 15.0 degrees, 1160 yen
It has a deep taste with a bit of acidity.
What can I say, it's proper and delicious!
It seems to be a standard product of Chichibu Nishiki.
It's a little over 1,000 yen, so it's very cost-effective.
I forgot I drank this sake and had another one at the end of the Saitama booth 🙄.
Nemuchi-san told me he drank it earlier. Nemuchi told me 💦.
Oh, I'm posting a lot more than usual at this event, but I'm not drinking all of it because there were vomit containers 😙.
